Play Up Podcast - Episode 51 - Oh No! Pack at the Back again?!
With defenders dropping like flies, are we facing the prospect of Pack at the Back once again? Was his emergency use in the heart of Pompey's defence really as shaky as we remember?
Welcome once again to the Play Up Podcast, Scott is joined by Phil and Adam to make sense of the Blackburn game and assess where the Pompey squad are just 7 games in.
Did Bishop mean the finish off his chest? Or was it pure fluke? Either way we are delighted for him to get that monkey off his back but we really hope Marezi is fit soon!
We play the Darts game once more, this time on Pompey goal-scorers and Adam does a deep (really rabbit hole deep) dive into who is our No1 keeper based on XGOT.
Find out what the hell that means and much more by lending your ears to us for 40 mins.
Enjoy!

Play Up Podcast - Episode 50 - 50th Birthday Pod- Where's the Cake?
Welcome to the half-century Pod with host Scott Mclachlan and guests Simon, Kim and Reece.
It's a significant milestone in the life of the Play Up Podcast and we look back to the Charlton game and discuss whether a point was enough. We also form a small Milli Ali support group after the merciless abuse directed at him at the Valley.
As we go into a very long International break Simon looks at the state of the League so far and we also play the Darts quiz looking at Pompey players International caps.
Who will start up front for Blackburn, will the mis-firing Bishop get yet another chance? A win would put Pompey comfortably mid-table and who could be unhappy with that?
We're looking forward to the next 50 Pods, I'd like to thank all contributors past and present and we hope you keep listening.
Play Up Pompey!
